So basically you want people to stop being...well people; infallible, curious, stupid, innovative etc etc etc

I learned more about Ubuntu by tweaking and fiddling (leading, of course, to more than a few re-installs) than if I had left well alone. Of course, I SHOULD have known better and I should NOT have fiddled, but after all we are only human *sigh*

Absence of breakage speaks of room for improvement.

It's by consistently breaking/tweaking my system that I have learned so much about it.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Me too!
I used to install everything in the Synaptic menu just for posterity,and before long it was broken! Seems all those WI-FI and Wireless gadgets will mess it up too when too many are installed, I don't think you can "really" completely UN-install anything,cause when you reinstall the same,all settings will be back again in spite of telling Synaptic to "Remove everything"
So I only install only what is necessary.

Been not messing considerably since installed 10.04. Installed Vbox, ps3 media server, deluge, snes9x, restricted extras, hp printer, ubuntu tweak (to change login screen a bit) and some games from humble bundle,

I don't really feel like spending holidays or free time playing around with settings and fixing something I broke (which is why power saving still doesn't work in Windows XP)

I do it to my other computer, I see what breaks it and what doesn't :D
Installation for a lot of distros is less than 10 minutes so I end up breaking distros a lot. Ubuntu, not so much. It is a strong one, and anti-stupid. Which is why I chose it. :D

You know, once you've broken it enough times, you start to learn what actually works.

Sometimes.

I have a partition that I use only for helping others so I have a copy of a default install; I can't stop messing with THAT!

Actually, I have been trying to be "hands off" with the family desktop, but my laptop, for which I have multiple drives in their own caddy cases, are a little different.

I have one hard drive I desperately try and keep as my "primary" drive and the other hard drives are for me to mess around with.

It's a tenuous relationship, trying to keep it all in balanced.
